The collapsing and then re-expanding quantum universe that loop quantum gravity offers as a replacement of the standard big bang models.

How loop quantum gravity could replace the absurd state of infinite density, the big bang with which, according to Einstein's relativity, the universe began. The connection between temperature and the emission of electromagnetic radiation, as well as the consequences for stars, matter disks around black holes, and cosmology.

Info Cosmology — filed under: This research is considered to be the foundation of modern cosmochemistry. During the s and s, cosmochemistry became more accepted as a science. Harold Urey, widely considered to be one of the fathers of cosmochemistry, engaged in research that eventually led to an understanding of the origin of the elements and the chemical abundance of stars.

Origin of Life - How Life Started on Earth

In , Urey and his colleague, German scientist Hans Suess, published the first table of cosmic abundances to include isotopes based on meteorite analysis. The continued refinement of analytical instrumentation throughout the s, especially that of mass spectrometry, allowed cosmochemists to perform detailed analyses of the isotopic abundances of elements within meteorites.

The cosmic background radiation

On August 29, , and in a world first, astronomers at Copenhagen University reported the detection of a specific sugar molecule, glycolaldehyde, in a distant star system. The molecule was found around the protostellar binary IRAS , which is located light years from Earth.

Publication details

This finding suggests that complex organic molecules may form in stellar systems prior to the formation of planets, eventually arriving on young planets early in their formation. Meteorites are one of the most important tools that cosmochemists have for studying the chemical nature of the solar system.

Many meteorites come from material that is as old as the solar system itself, and thus provides scientists with a record from the early solar nebula.
